Question PERFORMANCE FRICTION pads - who uses them? A question --

Do you use PFC pads on your Porsche?

What car do you own, and which compound do you prefer FRONT/REAR?

PF97's front and back on my 996 Spec. I've not experimented with any front/rear mix.

PFC 97's front and rear normally, though to overcome a rear caliper issue I used Pagid blacks in the rear and found that combo to be very good, less chance of a rear lockup on a late trailbrake for me.. PFC's - Never break them in, I pop in new ones and run 100% out of the box, and never a problem. Then again I didn't break in the Pagids either..

88 944 turbo cup (clone) and always used PFC97's F/R and loved them. This season I have just bought PFC01's to see if I can get some additional up front initial bite

market research by any chance?

PFC 97 on the SC ... except for the Pagid Yellows currently on the car. I like the yellows, but expect they will wear out the rotors sooner so my next set will likely be PFC 97s.

Pretty much everybody I know use PFC97s for the track.

What prompts your survey? Are you going to start stocking PFC97s?

930 calipers and wing only bumped you up one class?

I have used pf97 on a 997S before and really loved the bite. More bite than Yellows. I need new pads now and was thinking of going back to Perf Friction PF97

I don't quite understand it either but that's what my book says. Turbo look standard?

PF97 in my 87 911 with 930 brakes......

Any takers?

PFC97 front and rear on 99 Spec Boxster. I love them.
I would hesitate to recommend them for use with any 'pretty' wheels as I find the dust to be on the corrosive side.

Same here. I still don't understand why people are saying that the need to break in Pagids.
